पितॄणां नात्र सन्देहो गायाश्राद्धञ्च पुत्रक ॥८॥

yat ca utkocādinā prāptam patitāt yat upārjitam

durgandhi phenilam ca ambu tathā eva alpatara udakam
15. Also, wealth obtained through injustice or as a bride-price is deemed reprehensible in this context. Similarly, foul-smelling and frothy water, as well as very scarce water, are (also forbidden).

यन्न सर्वापचोत्सृष्टं यच्चाभोज्यं निपानजम् ॥१६॥

mārgam āvikam auṣṭram ca sarvam aikaśapham ca yat
17. That water, dear father, should always be avoided in ancestral rites (pitṛkarma); as should the milk or products from a wild animal, a sheep, a camel, and any single-hoofed animal.

पित्रर्थं मे प्रयच्छस्वेत्युक्त्वा यच्चाप्युपाहृतम् ॥१८॥

varjyā jantumati rūkṣā kṣitiḥ pluṣṭā tathā agninā
19. That milk should always be avoided by righteous people in a śrāddha (ancestral offering) rite. Also, earth that is full of insects, dry, or scorched by fire should be avoided.

कुलापमानकाः श्राद्धे व्यायुज्य कुलहिंसकाः ॥२०॥
20. aniṣṭaduṣṭaśabdogradurgandhā cātra karmaṇi .
kulāpamānakāḥ śrāddhe vyāyujya kulahiṃsakāḥ.
20. aniṣṭaduṣṭaśabdogradurgandhā ca atra karmaṇi
kulāpamānakāḥ śrāddhe vyāyujya kulahiṃsakāḥ
20. In this ritual (karma), undesirable and impure speech, harsh noises, and foul odors are detrimental. Also, those who insult their family and those who harm their family by creating discord (vyāyujya) in the śrāddha (ritual) [are similarly harmful].
नग्नाः पातकिनश्चैव हन्युर्दृष्ट्या पितृक्रियाम् ।
अपुमानपविद्धश्च कुक्कुटो ग्रामशूकरः ॥२१॥

apumān apaviddhaḥ ca kukkuṭaḥ grāmaśūkaraḥ
21. Indeed, naked people and sinful people (pātakinaḥ) spoil the ancestral ritual (pitṛkriyā) merely by their sight. Also, an impotent person, an abandoned person, a rooster, and a village pig [are similarly detrimental].
श्वा चैव हन्ति श्राद्धानि यातुधानाश्च दर्शनात् ।
तस्मात् सुसंवृतो दद्यात्तिलैश्चावकिरन्महीम् ॥२२॥

22. śvā ca eva hanti śrāddhāni yātudhānāḥ ca darśanāt
tasmāt susaṃvṛtaḥ dadyāt tilaiḥ ca avakiran mahīm
22. A dog and demons (yātudhānāḥ) also spoil śrāddha (rituals) merely by their sight. Therefore, one should perform the offering (dadyāt) while being very well-guarded (susasaṃvṛtaḥ) and scattering sesame seeds (tilaiḥ) on the ground (mahīm).
एवं रक्षा भवेच्छ्राद्धे कृता तातोभयोरपि ।
शावसूतकसंस्पृष्टं दीर्घरोगिभिरेव च ॥२३॥
23. evaṃ rakṣā bhavecchrāddhe kṛtā tātobhayorapi .
śāvasūtakasaṃspṛṣṭaṃ dīrgharogibhireva ca.
23. evam rakṣā bhavet śrāddhe kṛtā tāta ubhayoḥ
api śāvasūtakasaṃspṛṣṭam dīrgharogibhiḥ eva ca
23. Thus, O father, protection (rakṣā) is accomplished in the śrāddha for both [the performer and the ancestors]. Yet, [the śrāddha is also spoiled if] contaminated by impurity from a corpse or birth, and indeed, by those with chronic diseases.

24. patitaiḥ malinaiḥ ca eva na puṣṇāti pitāmahān
varjanīyam tathā śrāddhe tathā udakyāḥ ca darśanam
24. That which is offered by the fallen and the impure does not nourish the ancestors. Similarly, the sight of menstruating women should be avoided during the obsequial ritual (śrāddha).
मुण्डशौण्डसमाभ्यासो यजमानेन यादरात् ।
केशकीटावपन्नञ्च तथाश्वभिरवेक्षितम् ॥२५॥
25. muṇḍaśauṇḍasamābhyāso yajamānena yādarāt .
keśakīṭāvapannañca tathāśvabhiravekṣitam.
25. muṇḍaśauṇḍasamābhyāsaḥ yajamānena yādarat
keśakīṭa avapannam ca tathā aśvabhiḥ avekṣitam
25. The host (yajamāna) must carefully avoid association with shaven-headed ascetics and drunkards. Likewise, food contaminated by hair or insects, and food observed by horses, (should also be avoided).

वर्जनीयानि वै श्राद्धे यच्च वस्त्रानिलाहतम् ॥२६॥

26. pūti paryuṣitam ca eva vārtākī abhiṣavān tathā
varjanīyāni vai śrāddhe yat ca vastranilāhatam
26. Foul and stale food, eggplant, and fermenting liquids must certainly be avoided in the obsequial ritual (śrāddha). Also, that which has been touched by the wind from clothing.
श्रद्धया परया दत्तं पितॄणां नामगोत्रतः ।
यदाहारास्तु ते जातास्तदाहारत्वमेति तत् ॥२७॥
27. śraddhayā parayā dattaṃ pitṝṇāṃ nāmagotrataḥ .
yadāhārāstu te jātāstadāhāratvameti tat.
27. śraddhayā parayā dattam pitṝṇām nāmagotrataḥ
yat āhārāḥ tu te jātāḥ tat āhāratvam eti tat
27. That which is offered with supreme faith (śraddhā), by uttering the names and lineage of the ancestors (pitṛ), transforms into the very food that those ancestors have become in their current existence.
तस्मात् श्रद्धावता पात्रे यच्छस्तं पितृकर्मणि ।
यथावच्चैव दातव्यं पितॄणां तृप्तिमिच्छता ॥२८॥
28. tasmāt śraddhāvatā pātre yacchastaṃ pitṛkarmaṇi .
yathāvaccaiva dātavyaṃ pitṝṇāṃ tṛptimicchatā.
28. tasmāt śraddhāvātā pātre yat śastaṃ pitṛkarmaṇi
yathāvat ca eva dātavyam pitṝṇām tṛptim icchātā
28. Therefore, one who possesses faith (śraddhā) and desires the satisfaction of their ancestors should properly give whatever is suitable for the ancestral rites (pitṛkarma) to a deserving recipient.
योगिनश्च सदा श्राद्धे भोजनीया विपश्चिता ।
योगाधारा हि पिररस्तस्मात् तान् पूजयेत् सदा ॥२९॥
29. yoginaśca sadā śrāddhe bhojanīyā vipaścitā .
yogādhārā hi pirarastasmāt tān pūjayet sadā.
29. yoginaḥ ca sadā śrāddhe bhojanīyā vipaścitā
yogādhārāḥ hi pitaraḥ tasmāt tān pūjayet sadā
29. And yogis (practitioners of yoga) should always be invited to partake in the śrāddha ceremony by a discerning person. For indeed, the ancestors are sustained through yoga. Therefore, one should always honor them.
ब्राह्मणानां सहस्रेभ्यो योगी त्वग्राशनी यदि ।
यजमानञ्च भोक्तॄंश्च नौरिवाम्भसि तारयेत् ॥३०॥
30. brāhmaṇānāṃ sahasrebhyo yogī tvagrāśanī yadi .
yajamānañca bhoktṝṃśca naurivāmbhasi tārayet.
30. brāhmaṇānām sahasrebhyaḥ yogī tu agra-āśanī yadi
yajamānam ca bhoktṝn ca nauḥ iva ambhasi tārayet
30. yadi brāhmaṇānām sahasrebhyaḥ yogī tu agra-āśanī (syāt)
(saḥ) yajamānam ca bhoktṝn ca nauḥ iva ambhasi tārayet
30. If indeed a practitioner of yoga (yogī) is designated as the foremost eater (agra-āśanī) among thousands of Brahmins, then he rescues the patron of the Vedic ritual (yajamāna) and the other participants, just as a boat (nauḥ) carries passengers across water (ambhas).
पितृगाथास्तथवात्र गीयन्ते ब्रह्मवादिभिः ।
या गीताः पितृभिः पूर्वमैलस्यासीन्महीपतेः ॥३१॥
31. pitṛgāthāstathavātra gīyante brahmavādibhiḥ .
yā gītāḥ pitṛbhiḥ pūrvamailasyāsīnmahīpateḥ.
31. pitṛgāthāḥ tathā vā atra gīyante brahmavādibhiḥ
yāḥ gītāḥ pitṛbhiḥ pūrvam ailasya āsīt mahīpateḥ
31. Moreover, here, these ancestral narratives (pitṛgāthāḥ) are sung by the expounders of brahman (brahman), which were formerly sung by the ancestors themselves concerning King Aila.
कदा नः सन्ततावग्र्यः कस्यचिद् भविता सुतः ।
यो योगिभुक्तशोषान्नो भुवि पिण्डं प्रदास्यति ॥३२॥
32. kadā naḥ santatāvagryaḥ kasyacid bhavitā sutaḥ .
yo yogibhuktaśoṣānno bhuvi piṇḍaṃ pradāsyati.
32. kadā naḥ santatau agryaḥ kasyacid bhavitā sutaḥ
yaḥ yogibhuktaśeṣānnaḥ bhuvi piṇḍam pradāsyati
32. When will an excellent son be born in our lineage, one who will offer rice balls (piṇḍa) on earth from the remnants of food that has been consumed by yogis?
गयायामथवा पिण्डं खड्गमांसं महाहविः ।
कालशाकं तिलाढ्यं वा कृसरं मासतृप्तये ॥३३॥
33. gayāyāmathavā piṇḍaṃ khaḍgamāṃsaṃ mahāhaviḥ .
kālaśākaṃ tilāḍhyaṃ vā kṛsaraṃ māsatṛptaye.
33. gayāyām athavā piṇḍam khaḍgamāṃsam mahāhaviḥ
kālaśākam tilāḍhyam vā kṛsaram māsatṛptaye
33. Whether an offering (piṇḍa) in Gayā, or rhinoceros meat (khaḍgamāṃsa) - a great offering (mahāhavis) - or black greens (kālaśāka) rich in sesame (tila), or kṛsara (a dish of rice and sesame/pulse), (any of these are offered) for a month's satisfaction.
वैश्वदेवञ्च सौम्यञ्च खड्गमांसं परं हविः ।
विषाणवर्ज्यखड्गाप्त्या आसूर्यञ्चाश्नुवामहे ॥३४॥
34. vaiśvadevañca saumyañca khaḍgamāṃsaṃ paraṃ haviḥ .
viṣāṇavarjyakhaḍgāptyā āsūryañcāśnuvāmahe.
34. vaiśvadevam ca saumyam ca khaḍgamāṃsam param
haviḥ viṣāṇavarjyakhaḍgāptyā āsūryam ca aśnuvāmahe
34. Rhinoceros meat (khaḍgamāṃsa) is a supreme offering (param havis) for (rites like) Vaiśvadeva and Saumya. By obtaining a rhinoceros (meat) without its horn, we attain (benefits) lasting until the sun (sūrya) endures.
दद्यात् श्राद्धं त्रयोदश्यां मघासु च यथाविधि ।
मधुसर्पिः समायुक्तं पायसं दक्षिणायने ॥३५॥

madhusarpiḥ samāyuktaṃ pāyasaṃ dakṣiṇāyane.
35. dadyāt śrāddham trayodaśyām maghāsu ca yathāvidhi
madhusarpiḥ samāyuktam pāyasam dakṣiṇāyane
35. One should offer śrāddha on the thirteenth (lunar day) and in (the constellation) Maghā according to rules (yathāvidhi), (with) rice pudding (pāyasa) mixed with honey and ghee (madhusarpis), during the period of the sun's southern course (dakṣiṇāyana).
तस्मात् सम्पूजयेत् भक्त्या स्वपितॄन् पुत्र मानवः ।
कामानभीप्सन् सकलान् पापाच्चात्मविमोचनम् ॥३६॥
36. tasmāt sampūjayet bhaktyā svapitṝn putra mānavaḥ .
kāmānabhīpsan sakalān pāpāccātmavimocanam.
36. tasmāt sampūjayet bhaktyā svapitṝn putra mānavaḥ
| kāmān abhīpsan sakalān pāpāt ca ātmavimocanam
36. Therefore, O son, a human being desiring all his wishes and self-liberation from sin should worship his ancestors with devotion (bhakti).
वसून् रुद्रांस्तथादित्यान्नक्षत्रग्रहतारकाः ।
प्रीणयन्ति मनुष्याणां पितरः श्राद्धतर्पिताः ॥३७॥

37. vasūn rudrān tathā ādityān nakṣatragrahatārakāḥ
| prīṇayanti manuṣyāṇām pitaraḥ śrāddhatarpitāḥ
37. The ancestors (pitaraḥ) of human beings, when satisfied by śrāddha offerings, indeed please the Vasus, Rudras, and Adityas, as well as the lunar mansions (nakṣatra), planets (graha), and stars (tārakā).
आयुः प्रज्ञां धनं विद्यां स्वर्गं मोक्षं सुखानि च ।
